A giant sinkhole measuring 80 m (262 feet) in diameter has opened up on a field in southern Mexico on Saturday, May 29, 2021. No damage or injuries were reported, but a nearby home is at risk of being swallowed as the gaping hole continues to expand rapidly each day. Scientists are considering several hypotheses as the possible causes, including variations in the soil's water content.
The sinkhole appeared in the town of Juan C. Bonilla, Puebla State, in the southeastern region, according to state officials. It is estimated to be about 15 m (50 feet) deep.
Authorities said there were no reports of damage to structures or injuries, but a nearby home is at risk of being swallowed. The residents have been evacuated while the public was warned to stay away from the hole.
The homeowners said they heard a loud boom that sounded like thunder before the sinkhole appeared. They then saw the ground started sinking and water bubbling.
"We have nothing. We're not from here. We have no relatives. We're alone," said homeowner Heriberto Sanchez, who was originally from Veracruz State.

“We have nothing. We're not from here. We have no relatives. We're alone,” said homeowner Heriberto Sanchez, who was originally from Veracruz State. Technically, they have a very interesting lake.

I was thinking the same thing. Does he understand how much it costs to dig a hole like that? Great opportunity to take up aquaculture.

Put a fence around it and turn it into a tourist attraction. Swim at your own risk!
